JAMMU, Jan 14: Additional Sessions Judge Anti-Corruption Udhampur Dinesh Gupta framed charges against Mohd Farooq, Patwari Halqa Duddu Basantgarh and a beneficiary, who were booked by the Anti-Corruption Bureau for making fictitious entry of Girdawari in the Revenue record.
The duo was booked in FIR number 3/2016 for making fictitious entry of Girdawari into the Revenue Record pertaining to Khasra number 76 (land measuring 2 Kanals 18 Marlas) in village Dudu in favour of beneficiary Mohd Javed, son of Late Mohd Amin of Dudu.
As per the case, inquiry conducted by Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Basantgarh revealed that beneficiary Mohd Javed with the intention to grab the land of his sister namely Asmat Begum, entered into a criminal conspiracy with Patwari Mohammad Farooq and got illegal entries of said land. Despite having knowledge that the said land belonged to Asmat Begum and was under her cultivation, Patwari Mohd Farooq, by abuse of his official position, made wrong Girdawari entry into the Girdawari Register during the Girdawari (Rabbi) 2005 for 4 Kanals 8 Marlas under Khasra number 76 Min mentioning that it was a self cultivated piece of land (Khud Kasht) through Mohd Javed (beneficiary) by manipulating records and conferred wrongful gain to the beneficiary and thereby deprived the actual owner of her rightful claim.
Consequently, on the outcome of said enquiry, case FIR number 03/2016 was registered under relevant sections of law and investigation was taken up by the Vigilance Organization, Jammu (now ACB).
During the course of investigation by ACB, it was established that the Girdawari was wrongly entered by the then Patwari Farooq Ahmed in the name of Mohd Javed during the year 2005.
